There was sleet and rain that night, and the temperature was lower than ordinary rain and snow.

When Xia Youjie returned to Luye's residence from the college, she was no longer there, and what disappeared was their packed luggage.

All he was left with was the mess in the house.

The falling objects and conspicuous blood stains looked like some kind of murder scene.

He calmly manipulated the curse spirit to restore the living room to its previous appearance, arranged the objects that the curse spirit called out at that time had squeezed out one by one, and then carefully wiped off the horrible looking blood on the ground.

It didn't take long for the scene of the murder to return to normal.

Only the slight smell of blood still spreading in the air reminded that everything that happened today was not an illusion.

In Xia Youjie's eyes, the clean and tidy house was empty and devoid of human touch.

For Luye, this place may not be worth remembering. It was the worst half year of her life. As for those memorable and warm moments with the black-haired boy here, it is not worth mentioning as long as the hurt is remembered.

But for Xia Youjie, this is where he starts again.

Everywhere reminds him of every moment he got along with Luye here.

Her shadow is everywhere.

Nowhere is she.

Xia Youjie thought that he should have gotten used to it during the two years without Lu Ye.

But when he hugged her again and saw her appear in this room again.

It turned out that he couldn't get used to the life without Lu Ye at all.

He looked around, picked up the phone and pressed the power button.

The screensaver and wallpaper set above are a group photo of the two of them, and Lu Ye is still smiling at the camera.

For the past two years, Xia Youjie has been thinking about the group photo that he didn't take at that time, but now he finally has it, and he can always see when he is closest to Lu Ye.

I really want to hear her voice.

After watching for a while, he turned off the screen.

……

It snowed heavily today.

When Lu Ye woke up, he saw that the outside was already covered in silver. Christmas was approaching, and holiday-related things were being decorated everywhere, except for the white snow, there were red spots in the snow.

Lu Ye had previously promised ten bunches of Duo Liang to go to Barbara for Christmas, and this party has not yet prepared Christmas gifts for them.

After tidying up, she went directly to the shopping mall to buy gifts for the few people she was familiar with one by one.

The orientation of those people in Wuwuluo is very clear, and it doesn't take much effort for her to pick it up. Duo Liang is basically interested in everything, and he will be very happy if you give him something new.

Ana loves all things red, and Izumo couldn't be more wrong to send something to dress up his bar.

As for Misaki Hatta, because of his woman-phobic nature, Lu Ye did not say more than ten sentences to him, but she has a good impression of this shy boy, and she does not forget to prepare for him...

Of course, the most important thing is not to forget to prepare for Chuya.

But for Luye, Chuya's gift was the most difficult to choose.

She remembered that the last time she gave him a custom-made cufflink, she also gave him a Choker and a lighter a few years ago. Basically, the things that should be given have already been sold out.

... What a headache.

Looking at the dazzling array of products in the mall, Lu Ye has no clue at all.

She wanted to call Nakahara Chuya directly to ask what gift she wanted, but with Chuya's character, she would definitely say "Christmas gift? Don't prepare this kind of thing for me".

After all, they've had this conversation before.

If Luye is still the little rich woman she was before, the range of things that can be considered will be much wider, and expensive wine and cars can be added to it.

The problem is that she is now a jobless vagrant without a job, all relying on the savings from doing crazy tasks as a magician before.

——However, in addition to the ones she remembered, there was also a very scary deposit in her card.

You don't need to think about it to know that it belongs to Xia Youjie. The other party seems to have entered all the rewards for exorcising the curse spirits in the past two years, and there is still an increase even in these two days.

She completely regarded her card as a salary card, this person...

Of course, Lu Ye would not touch this sum of money. Now that she thinks of Xia Youjie, she can't help but think of what happened that day.

After her thoughts paused for a while, she decided to wait until Christmas to finish Xia Youjie's affairs.

After thinking about choosing gifts here to no avail, Lu Ye simply left Chuya's as the last choice.

The result is that after buying all the presents, she still hasn't decided what to give Chuya.

While thinking about this, the other party sent a message.

[Chuya: Where is it? ]

It seems that he came back from work, and Lu Ye sent him a message

[Is there anything you want in also? ]

Based on Zhong Yuan Zhongya's understanding of her, every time she asks this kind of question, she is probably preparing a gift for him. At this time, it cannot be a birthday gift, so there is only one direction for the approaching festival.

He guessed it right away.

[Chuya: I don't want anything, are you picking out Christmas presents?Don't prepare it for me. ]

Lu Ye didn't reply as expected, she frowned with puffy face, it's better not to ask.

She knew that this man was sincerely telling her not to prepare, but he basically never forgot to prepare gifts for her on every big festival.

Forget it, I'll go and see if he has anything missing, and think about it tomorrow.

In the end, Lu Ye returned home with a full load. Except for Zhongye's Christmas gift, everyone else was ready.

After returning with a gift in hand, Lu Ye knocked on the door next door.

Nakahara Nakaya, who came to open the door, was only wearing a shirt and a vest. His sleeves were rolled up to his elbows, revealing his muscular and well-curved arms.

Lu Ye took a look inside and found that the best thing about this festival was that the orange-haired cadre who didn't forget to give gifts was actually decorating the Christmas tree this time.

She quickly changed her slippers, and walked quickly to the still bare Christmas tree under the helpless eyes of the orange-haired cadre.

It was surrounded by all kinds of ornaments for decoration, full of everything, Lu Ye turned his head to look at Zhongya Zhongyuan in surprise: "Zhongye, why are you so leisurely today."

Her hair at the temples was blown away by the wind outside, her blue eyes were shining, her fair cheeks were slightly flushed with excitement, she looked like a child who got her favorite toy.

It seems that there is nothing wrong with the preparation, Zhong Yuanzhong also thought.

He has spent many festivals with Luye. He doesn't have much sense of festivals. Luye is different. As long as it is a slightly bigger festival, she likes to join in the fun, so he also develops the habit of preparing gifts for her every time before the festival. Habit.

But that's all. When those times didn't happen, Zhongyuanzhong was almost always on a business trip during Christmas in the past few years. After all, they haven't spent Christmas together for at least five years.

Thinking back to the blond child who made people feel distressed, Nakahara Nakaya saw the Christmas tree on the street, and couldn't help but think that Lu Ye might feel happy if he did this.

Zhong Yuanzhong also raised his eyebrows, raised his hand to hook her messy hair and tidied up: "Well, I want to try this time, anyway, you are fine now, so let's come together?"

Kano has never decorated a Christmas tree himself!

She never even thought about it, in her opinion, it is an honor to have a lot of family members celebrating the festival together, just like the big family of Barbara.

"Of course!"

As she said so, she immediately joined the team of orange-haired cadres to organize the Christmas tree with great interest.

……

The snowfall lasted for two days until Christmas Day.

Christmas with thick snow is more in line with the atmosphere than ever. Nakahara also knocked on her door early in the morning and stuffed her with Christmas gifts when she was sleepy.

"Lu Ye, Merry Christmas." There was a cold wind on his body, "I will come back earlier today, and we will have dinner together then."

Lu Ye nodded: "Got it..."

She didn't wake up, and replied very perfunctorily, then half-closed her eyes and groped for the gift she had prepared for Zhongya, and stuffed it into his arms.

It was the result of her thinking for several days, an ordinary black glove.

——It can’t be considered too ordinary, after all, it is specially customized.

After receiving her gift, the orange-haired cadre took off the gloves he was wearing in front of her and put on new ones from her.

Lu Ye watched his movements with satisfaction: "Merry Christmas, Chuya."

After sending away someone who had to work for Christmas, Lu Ye went back to sleep for a while, and when she woke up, she checked the news.

——Received Christmas greetings from many people.

It also included Xia Youjie and Wujo Wu's.

Lu Ye couldn't read any messages from the two of them. Xia Youjie usually wouldn't reply after seeing them, but Gojo Wu would send her crazy emojis every time he saw that she couldn't read them.

How could this man be so confident when he couldn't read back?

Tsk, very annoying.

Lu Ye simply blocked him.

On the other side, Gojo Satoru, who was still posting Maomaowcry.jpg, saw a red exclamation mark pop up on the message he sent.

"..."

After a moment of silence, he chuckled lightly.

Gojo Satoru put the things in his hand into his pocket, and prepared to go to Yokohama.

Christmas, he thought.

Sure enough, I still want to live with Lu Ye.

When someone rushed to Yokohama to find her, Shikano had already boarded the train to Tokyo.

The gift that Chuya gave her was a scarf, which was a light brown color, and it was so soft after wearing it. Lu Ye matched it with a windbreaker of the same color, and carried a bag with capacity, which was filled with the prepared clothes. Gift.

After leaving the station, the cold wind made her bury her face in the scarf, and there were two familiar figures not far away.

It's Tatara and Anna.

The little girl in the red gothic costume didn't have any expression on her face when she saw Lu Ye, but her ruby-like eyes lit up immediately.

Lu Ye was a little helpless, she had already said that there was no need to come and pick her up.

Tatara held Anna with one hand, and waved at her vigorously with the other hand after seeing her, and Kano ran over quickly.

"Merry Christmas, little deer." Tatara smiled at her.

"Merry Christmas, Tatara." Shikano replied.

She turned her gaze to the little girl who was as delicate as a doll next to her, squatted down and rubbed Anna's soft cheek with her cheek: "Merry Christmas, Anna."

After they finished posting, the little girl's voice was not fluctuating but there was obvious joy, and she also replied: "Lu Ye, Merry Christmas."

Lu Ye took Anna's other hand: "Didn't you say you don't need to come pick me up?"

Tatara put on an innocent expression: "Anna is coming to pick you up. She hasn't seen you for a long time."

After Tatara finished speaking, Anna nodded beside her and said, "Well, long time no see."

In their opinion, it was indeed a long time. In two years, Lu Ye found that Anna had grown a little. She raised her hand and rubbed the other's head, showing her a gentle smile.

The barking dance at Christmas was even more lively than usual, Lu Ye heard the noise inside before stepping in.

Pushing the door and entering, the wind chime at the door rang pleasantly, and besides the wooden bar counter that Izumo Kusanagi regarded as a treasure, the huge Christmas tree next to it caught the eye.

It was the one that was being decorated in the photo taken by ten bundles of Tatara at that time.

In the middle, Misaki Hatta, Toshio Kamamoto, and Hiroshi Chitose played UNO together. Hatta seemed to have lost, with a turtle drawn on his face, full of dissatisfaction.

Hearing the bell at the door, Kusanagi Izumo in front of the bar first raised his hand towards her, and a pleasant Kyoto accent sounded: "Long time no see, Kano."

Lu Ye nodded to him: "Long time no see, Mr. Izumo."

As soon as Tatara came in, he made a trumpet shape with his hands, leaned over to the sofa and shouted to the people above: "King—get up—look who's here——"

The Chi King who was awakened gave a "tsk", raised one hand and slammed Duo Liang's head, causing the young man to beg for mercy repeatedly: "It hurts, it hurts, I was wrong, King, you continue to sleep..."

After finishing these, Zhou Fangzun put one hand on the back of the sofa, half of his fiery red head poked out, he raised his eyes to look at Lu Ye, paused for a moment, then nodded to her as a greeting.

It's been a long time since I saw this kind of picture, and Lu Yebi's eyes softened.

After saying hello, she began to distribute the prepared gifts to them one by one.

"It's very good."

"Wow! Thank you Xiaolu! This is so interesting, I like it!"

"It's Anna's."

"Thank you."

"This is Mr. Zhou Fang's."

"……what?"

"This is Mr. Izumo's."

"Thank you, I have a heart."

……

"And Hatta-kun."

The orange-haired boy who didn't even expect to get it himself, and didn't dare to look at her very much, blushed when she handed him the gift.

There was a little happiness in his eyes, he accepted it in a hurry, and stumbled when he spoke: "Hey, I, do I have it too? Thank you..."

"Brother Hatta, you are so inferior." Kamamoto Ryoo said beside him.

Hatta Misaki, who was stuttering with shyness last second, fiercely raised her fist at his little friend, chasing him and running around the field: "Do you want to die, kid!"

Obviously, Lu Ye was not the only one who prepared gifts for them.

After she finished dividing, she also received gifts from them, and the bag that was empty just now was filled with new things.

Just as Lu Ye received the gift from Duo Duo Liang and was about to put it in her bag, her hand holding the gift suddenly became a little transparent in the air, and the light from the top fell through it when it fell, just like Just like when she disappeared.

This state only lasted for a moment, and her hands returned to normal.

Lu Ye was stunned.

...Did she read it wrong?

She looked at Tatara, the flaxen-haired young man didn't seem to notice what was wrong at that moment, he was talking to Kusanagi Izumo.

Lu Ye's heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

--what happened?

Are these all fake?Did she die like that long ago—?

At this moment, the multicolored light in Barbaro made Lu Ye feel dizzy.

At this moment, Anna, who was watching quietly, suddenly ran forward.

She raised her small hand to hold Lu Ye's hand that had just become transparent in an instant, and looked up at her.

Under Lu Ye's dazed gaze, the little girl's beautiful red eyes looked at her firmly as if she had seen through everything, and the words she said were strongly comforting: "It's okay, everything will pass."

"Don't be afraid, Shikano."

Lu Ye was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but smile. She raised her hand and hugged Anna into her arms, making the little girl's cheeks blush.

"Thank you, Anna."

She knew Anna was special, and the other party's words brought her a lot of comfort.

Lu Ye stayed in Barbara for about three hours before saying goodbye.

She likes this big family, but she also knows very well that she is not an ally of the Red King, and they are just friends, not family members. It is better to leave the rest of the time to them.

And she naturally wanted to go back to her family.

On the way back to Yokohama, Shikano couldn't stop thinking about the scene that happened in Barbara.

Even though Anna comforted her at that time, she still couldn't calm down.

The preoccupied Lu Ye got out of the elevator, and before she reached the door, she saw two tall figures, one black and one white, leaning against her door, looking like black and white impermanence came to kill her.

Lu Ye: "..."

"Luye." X2

After seeing her, two voices sounded together.

"What are you doing here?" She looked at Gojo Wu and Xia Youjie coldly.

Forget Wujo Wu, how did Xia Youjie find this place.

The white-haired man rubbed against her, and shook his fingers triumphantly: "Merry Christmas, of course I want to spend Christmas with you."

Xia Youjie, who smiled like a fox as if nothing happened, also said, "Merry Christmas."

Should she say that this person adjusted too quickly, how dare he smile in front of her after doing that kind of thing.

"Hey, Jie, why do you still have the courage to follow here?" Before Lu Ye could say anything, Gojo Satoru preemptively pointed at Xia Youjie.

Xia Youjie replied, "Didn't you also come here uninvited?"

Lu Ye is too lazy to watch them bicker, let alone spend Christmas with these two!

She opened the door, and said with a smile under the wet eyes of two people looking at her like a puppy: "Where are you going?"

Then he closed the door with a "Peng" without hesitation.

The two of them actually didn't stop her from doing this set of actions too much, probably because they didn't want to annoy her any more.

Since the disappearance of the artificial mental retardation system, Luye occasionally opens the system panel when he has no sense of reality.

There is no other meaning, just repeating the action of opening and closing. After closing the door firmly, she recalled what happened today. After a pause, she opened the system panel and looked at the information and data on it.

The favorability of the three people has been at full value since Xia Youjie recovered her memory. Apart from this, the [Excessive Emotional Value] under their favorability will change differently every time she opens it.

This time, there is no accident, it is a new number.

[Target character "Central Plains Chuya" favorability value: 100 points]

[Collected overflow emotional value: 200 points]

[Target character "Wujo Satoru" favorability value: 100 points]

[Collected overflow emotional value: 350 points]

[Target character "Xia Youjie" favorability value: 100 points]

[Collected overflow emotional value: 500 points]

...What the hell are these?

Different from the previous ones, a new option appeared under these data, and there were a few lines of small words explaining it next to it.

[The overflow emotional value has reached the extraction target of 99 points, which can be exchanged for [-]% of the life value after extraction. 】

[Do you want to enter the copy to extract? 】

Looking at this line of words, Lu Ye slowly frowned.

She couldn't help raising her hand, and at this moment, she saw that the hand under the light showed a slightly transparent appearance, and the light fell through it.

It turned out that it was not her illusion.

Knowing that the possibility of his death seemed to disappear again, Lu Ye breathed a sigh of relief.

She had been in a state of ignorance during this time, all puzzles unanswered, and she had always had a strange sense of unreality and uncertainty about her present existence.

It turned out that her feelings were not wrong.

Maybe she will know the answer in a while, she thought about it, and chose [Yes].

After a short period of dizziness, the system's notification sounded.

[Copy loaded successfully——]

[The target character "Nakahara Chuya" has been put into the dungeon - "The Ending He Desires"]

[The target character "Wujo Satoru" has been put into the dungeon - "the ending he expected"]

[The target character "Xia Youjie" has been put into the dungeon - "the ending he fears"]

[Entered the copy of the character "Central Plains Chuya"]

[Please cooperate with the character to complete the ending and extract the corresponding overflow value]

……

After the system prompted, Lu Ye's consciousness slowly returned, and she felt that her mouth was slightly opened, and a slightly cold finger was inserted into her mouth and pressed against her tongue.

She frowned and wanted to close her mouth, but her teeth were stuck on the other's fingers, preventing her from clenching.

Kano slowly opened his eyes.

The finger in her mouth was taken back by its owner, and her opened blue eyes imprinted the appearance of the person in front of her.

The slightly curly orange hair that hasn't grown long yet is a familiar face to her, with a bit of immature youthfulness.

It is Nakahara Chuya, who is 15 years old.

What is he doing……?

The orange-haired boy withdrew his fingers from her mouth, still glowing with crystal water. He blushed slightly at the bottom of his ears, and then said to her stiffly: "Want to kiss?"
